Some bitcoin enthusiasts in taiwan are now starting their own place called the Bitcoin House Taiwan (https://bitcoinhousetaiwan.wordpress.com/2015/04/21/bit-start-our-bitcoin-house-taiwan/) and are looking for new tenants.

The Bitcoin House Taiwan is located in Kaohsiung (http://wikitravel.org/en/Kaohsiung) in the south of Taiwan.

Taiwan?
Yeah - the small island also called "ilha formosa" or "the beautiful island" right next to china, hongkong and japan.
this is also the country of topmodern smartphones and computers and the place where you can buy bitcoins 24 hours a day in more than 3000 physical convenience stores in taiwan (http://www.meetup.com/Kaohsiung-Bitcoiners/messages/boards/thread/48252742). it is literally impossible to not find a familymart - and there they sell BTC!
i don't know any other country where this is possible yet.

The House
is located on a small island called Cijin (http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Attraction_Review-g297908-d556522-Reviews-Chichin_Island-Kaohsiung.html) near the Kaohsiung Harbour/airport. It is a popular tourist spot and has a nice beach.
The house has been used as a cafe and some rooms were available on airbnb (https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/2847904?locale=en&s=10M-) for travellers and long-term stay people.

you can check it on coinmap.org (http://coinmap.org/).



Now the place is up for rent again and people can pay first time their rent exclusively in Bitcoin only.

The rent:
... is about 0.6 btc per month - at todays rate (friday, 17th april 2015) - of course this is due to the volatility of bitcoin a "floating" value
this is equivalent to ca. 4000 - 5000 NTD per month including bills depending on the size of the room.

There are 5 rooms in the house to choose from.
The price includes all the bills and you'll get your private room with a window, ceiling fan, double bed, lamp, wifi, and a desk.
The ground floor is a former coffee shop which is now free to use as an office, meeting/exhibition space etc. for all the tenants and their friends.

One first tenant from Germany has showed interest - a freelancer, who does translation and graphic design for bitcoin.

It's a nice offer, and I think you need to post a picture so people will be more interest with this.

it is still in the middle of taken over. here are some pics (https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/2847904?locale=en&s=10M-) from one of the rooms listings on airbnb - which is still available.

edit: i will update with some pics. good to hear your opinion. if you know someone who might be interested share this info. thanks!

Lots of interesting material for an article....can I hit you up on Skype about some questions ( should I have any?) [or you can add me, username is jdebunt :)]

you can get in touch via skype / email as listed in the OP


cheers

You should move this to this section --> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=82.0  .. it's closer to home.  ;)

A suggestion... Stipulate in your post if the 0.6 BTC is per day or week or month. {Your added pictures, does state per week?}

I have stayed in 1 bedroom Hotel rooms for 1 BTC per day. {Paid by my employer} .... even though this does not seem like 5 Star accomodation at that level.  ;)

Is this the going rate for Taiwan? {No external view?} 

it is in taiwan not korea :P

yep it is per month - most landlords charge per month - it is not a hotel.
the days when you paid 1btc per day are long gone i'd say. (edit: or do you mean you staid in a 250$/night hotel? :P)

this house is more than a 5 stars hotel - on a bitcoin scale :D it is +5 startoshis

going rate depends on the city, kaohsiung is cheaper. 5000TWD is cheap for a room. airbnb minimum is 500TWD/day.

Good offer. But those two guys do not look like people from Taiwan :)

yep bitcoiners from europe ;)

new article in the bitcoinist: slice of paradise (http://bitcoinist.net/bitcoin-house-taiwan-slice-of-paradise/) (thanks jdebunt)
